Callanetics with Callan Pinckney |
 It really works |
| This video will give you results, but it's hard and you have to keep at it. Like everything else, you get better at it over time. It's old school, no thrills, no frills type video. But that's what I actually like about it. It's not gimmicky like a lot of today's exercise videos. I like Callan, the instructor very much. She's soft spoken, caring and nurturing. - posted by Tara on 4/29/2009 |

| Wow!! |
| I tried this years ago and for the life of me, don't know why I didn't keep up with it. This is one TOUGH workout, especially the hip and thigh area. It's deceiving because it looks easy, but once you're into position, you can barely lift the leg. There's one part where you do something called the pelvic scoop and I thought I'd die by the 10th rep. I was shocked at how out of shape I was. This dvd humbled me for sure. I guess I'll have to work up to the full reps. Very worthwhile purchase, you'll see results in no time if you can get past the blush and legwarmers!Good Luck... - posted by Kathy on 3/29/2009 |

| Unbelievably fast results!! |
| I 've done this workout a few times and can't believe how slim I look so rapidly.. All the jumping around with Cathe, Jari, etc. haven't come close to making me look long and lean like this dvd. I've been doing only mild cardio (walking) because of a back injury so I didn't really expect results like this. The workout and the leotards are definitely 80's, and although this is a tough workout (it just looks easy), you feel remarkably "worked out & pulled in" when you're done. Once you memorize the movements, it doesn't take an hour. It takes me 20 min in front of the tv watching the news in the morning. Make this workout a habit and watch your body transform! WooHoo! I'd better get that bikini ready... Sooo pleased with this purchase, wished I had found this before I busted my butt working out with the others...you get the same result and better with a lot less stress on your back or knees..A definite keeper.. - posted by Sue on 3/5/2009 |

| I'm a Believer!! |
| Wow,Wow,Wow!This is unlike any video I've ever done. It's seems impossible that such small movements could do anything, but it does. I'm a former ballet dancer (48 years old), and it's like you get the lean benefits of ballet exercises without the jumping and jarring of your joints. This technique is so innovative, and it's a killer, even if you think you are in good shape. And it's true, I felt results right away and felt slimmer after doing the video several times. And now I am seeing results too. No lower body work has gotten my thighs and butt slimmer except pilates and now especially this. I heard about it the 80's, but never experienced it until now. I can't wait to try the other callanetics videos. The most inspiring thing are the still photos she shows of a students butt and thighs before callanetics and then progressively after. It's amazing. She says the photos have not been retouched, so I've got to believer her. Give us more! - posted by Stacey on 11/17/2008 |

| fabulous results |
| i first did this video in the 80's. I started it again recently, and wondered why I had ever stopped. it really pulls in the hips, thighs and stomach and people will remark on the fast change. It also gets RID of that ugly front of thigh flab that women get in their 40's, and it gets rid of it QUICKLY. Now that I have some muscle tone from working with weights, the results are in a way even better than they were when I was younger. I've done pilates and love it, but this is even better for making the body tighter (and stronger!), at least for me. The tape is old-fashioned and Callan's manner and looks seem dated,, but the workout is WORTH it. Get this. - posted by judith on 4/8/2008 |

| An Oldie, but a Goody! |
| I own all of Callan Picnkey's old videos, but this one remains a favorite. The slow, gentle pace really makes your muscles work at their deepest level (especially the abdominals) and the “relaxation factor” is out of this world. By the end of the workout, I guarantee you’ll be feeling strong, flexible and refreshed. My ONLY complaint is that the on-screen counter is all over the place, sometimes going too fast on one side of the body and too slow on the other. I recommend beginning on a different side of the body each time you the workout (in order to deal with the uneven number of reps). Overall, though, the instruction is excellent, it’s easy to follow and the exercises REALLY deliver what they promise. - posted by Gretchen on 3/18/2008 |
